As a brief digression and reminder: Neither the Dissident Test nor the
Desert Island Test, nor the Tentacles of Evil Test, nor the "DFSG FAQ"
where they reside, _has any role whatsoever_ in Debian Project
governance. They are not "Debian's", in that substantive sense, but
rather are the personal views of several people who post to the public
debian-legal mailing list, including Debian developer Barak A.
Pearlmutter.
